Say Goodbye To Pen And Paper In The Cockpit

New Sketch Pad Capabilities With iFly GPS Version 10.3

Adventure Pilot has announced the release of iFly GPS version 10.3 for all supported platforms: Android, Apple iPad/iPhone, Windows and its line of iFly portable aviation units. Noteworthy features included with this release are Sketch Mode and Runway Advisor.

With their latest release for iFly GPS, Adventure Pilot is continuing with their mission to make navigation easier on pilots. Version 10.3 adds new features, improvements and bug fixes to the existing platform. Included in this update is the addition of Sketch Mode and Runway Advisor, both of which are game changers for how pilots use the platform.

“I am especially excited about how we implemented the Sketch Pad, with the one-tap toggle and simple menu bar - it’s so intuitive and convenient I believe all our pilots will benefit from this feature,” says Walter Boyd, owner and president of Adventure Pilot. The new Sketch feature was built with iFly’s tradition of keeping it simple – one tap to toggle in and out of sketch mode, and a simple menu bar allows quick selection of pen sizes, styles and other common actions.

Sketch Mode gives pilots the flexibility of drawing and highlighting on maps, dedicated sketch sheets, plates and diagrams. The feature allows pilots to discard their paper and pencil and use the tablet for quick notes, jotting down clearances, highlighting map areas or points of interest, drawing out planned taxi routes and anything else the pilot can think up.

Another key feature is the new Runway Advisor. With the Runway Advisor feature, pilots have the ability to, at-a-glance, see the recommended runway based on winds. Runway Advisor calculates and displays the downwind and crosswind component for each runway, color-coded to help the pilot make a quick decision.

iFly GPS version 10.3 is available for download on Android, Apple iPad/iPhone, Windows and iFly portable aviation units.

The creation of Adventure Pilot, iFly GPS offers powerful navigation solutions that go far beyond imagination while keeping it simple and intuitive. iFly GPS is a game-changing, "MultiPlatform" navigation solution that provides exhaustive support of ADS-B Traffic & Weather.

Adventure Pilot creates affordable solutions meant to inspire, inform and enable a community of passionate pilots to fulfill their desire for aerial adventures. "Life is in the Journey; it’s the destinations you choose that determine your path."
